jessicariley 's review for:

The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
2.0

This was so very nearly a DNF but I can’t stand to leave a book half-read.

I absolutely adore the story, and find it so interesting that writers have been interested in sci-go and dystopian worlds for years.

However, with the age, I found reading the story was fairly difficult as a result of the language. At times, the story seemed to ramble along with no clear purpose and felt like it was padded out on more than one occasion.

Overall, I’m glad I finished but it wouldn’t say it is essential reading.
